when sprinting, my radius hits and bumps my bars causing bruising, and is especially painful during repetitive sprint intervals. my bars a currently so that the drop are basically parallel with the ground. during my sprints I am shifting through multiple gears. so my hands have to be close to the curved part of the bar. the shifters are adjusted for the smallest reach possible

if i tilt them further down will that alleviate the issue? would rather ask first so i dont have to re-warp my bars multiple times

Yes, rotating the bars will change wrist position. I am curious though, although I am by no means a sprint specialist. How many gears are you shifting through? For me, I shift maybe once and then power through. What is the width of your bars? If they are super narrow, that could be compounding the issue (although I never hit wrists on even my 40 cm bars)

I have a feeling your top tube + stem might be too short. It's not about getting low but more about getting stretched out a bit more. Try getting a stem with 2CM more length and see if you still bump the wrist. Frame could be too short as well.

I would be inclined to be thinking along the same lines as @Elventio that maybe the whole setup is too short, and possibly your bars are too wide as well. You shouldn't have to "sit back" further to accommodate a too small frame or setup. The frame should accomodate you and not the other way around.
